Secrets and lies? The Ethics of HIV/AIDS Reporting in South Africa
7 February 2005There is a good deal of criticism of HIV/AIDS coverage in South African newspapers. At the same time, journalists trying to provide better coverage are grappling with complex issues of how best to treat the issue.
A discussion forum entitled “Secrets and lies? The ethics of HIV/AIDS reporting in South Africa”, on the 1 February 2005, hosted at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in partnership with the HIV/AIDS and the Media Project, brought together these journalists with activists, scientists, doctors and others to debate how HIV/AIDS should be reported, and how the news media can best contribute to the battle against the pandemic.
The forum was chaired by John Perlman, journalist and host of AM Live on SAFM.
